Black Police Kill White AWB Guys in Africa (Bophuthatswana)

An oldie but a goodie. Didn't see it using search engine. A video exists but i don't have it.
I have no fucking idea where Bophuthatswana is.

Quote:
The single most publicised event of the Bophuthatswana coup was the killing of three wounded AWB members who were shot dead at point-blank range in front of journalists by a Bophuthatswana police constable, Ontlametse Bernstein Menyatsoe.

AWB Colonel Alwyn Wolfaardt, AWB General Johannes Fourie and Veldkornet (Field Cornet) Jacobus Stephanus Uys were driving a blue Mercedes at the end of a convoy of AWB vehicles, firing into a crowd of Bophuthatswanan civilians. Members of the Bophuthatswana Defence Force returned fire and hit the driver of the car, Nicolaas Fourie, in the neck, another gunman, Alwyn Wolfaardt, in the arm and the remaining gunman, Jacobus Uys, in the leg. When Wolfaardt got out of the car and waved a pistol, a Bophuthatswana police officer quickly took his pistol. Another policeman tried to fire on journalists but his rifle jammed and it was taken from him by another policeman. The wounded survivor Alwyn Wolfaardt waved a pistol but was advised not to start shooting by nearby journalists.

Menyatsoe approached and spoke to Wolfaardt, asking if he was a member of the AWB. Wolfaardt confirmed this, saying they came from Naboomspruit, and pleaded for his life and the lives of the other two wounded AWB members. Menyatsoe then shot the three wounded men dead at point blank range with an R4 rifle, saying "what are you doing in my country". The shooting was captured by the watching journalists and broadcast worldwide.

This was photographed by Kevin Carter I believe. The same photographer who took the image of the African child allegedly crawling to a nearby Orphanage whilst a Vulture skulks in the background. Quite iconic.

Yes, there were a couple of photographers from the famous 4 member "Bang Bang Club" there that day.

And Greg Marinovich took this one.


Oosterbroek was shot and killed (photos below)
Kevin Carter killed himself.
Silva stepped on land mine in Afghanistan and lost both legs below the knee.

Below are the photos of Oosterbroek when he was shot and killed

Re: Black Police Kill White AWB Guys in Africa (Bophuthatswana)

It's not like these 'AWB' guys were innocent bystanders....
maybe they had a good reason for trying to stage a coup in
Bophuthatswana (very possibly, even) but if you try to
overthrow a government, that's a BIG risk if things don't
go your way.
(The white police in Rhodesia or South Africa would have, and
did, the same sort of thing to black revolutionaries in the
'old days')
Where IS Bopus....Bophus....Bophuthatswana? Try Southern
Africa. Google is your friend

Re: Black Police Kill White AWB Guys in Africa (Bophuthatswana)

Here's part of a Wikipedia article:
In the beginning of 1994 with South Africa heading for democratic elections, the President Lucas Mangope resisted reincorporation into South Africa. Forty people were wounded when Bophuthatswana Defence Force troops opened fire on striking civil servants. Mangope took an increasingly hardline stance, rejected Independent Electoral Commission chairman Judge Johann Kriegler's plea for free political activity in the territory,[14] and fired the staff of the Bophuthatswana Broadcasting Corporation, closing down two television stations and three radio stations.

The white supremacist group Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) took the opportunity to move in and try to restore the apartheid status quo, but was humiliated in early March when, in the presence of photojournalists and a TV crew, uniformed members of the AWB on an armed incursion to the Mmabatho/Mafikeng area shot at people alongside the road, injuring and killing many.[15] They themselves were shot at by members of the Bophuthatswana Defence Force (BDF) and the Police and forced to retreat. Three wounded AWB members were shot dead at point blank range by Ontlametse Bernstein Menyatsoe of the BDF while retreating.[16] These killings effectively spelt the end of white military opposition to democratic reforms. Mangope was replaced by an interim government.
